At $100K/BTC, this translates to shareholder value creation of $14.06B for the year or $38.5M/day.
Microstrategy’s aggressive bitcoin accumulation reflects its ongoing strategy to leverage digital assets for growth. The latest buy announced was on Jan. 6 when the company acquired 1,070 BTC for ~$101 million at ~$94,004 per bitcoin and achieved BTC Yield of 48.0% in Q4 2024 and 74.3% in FY 2024. “As of 01/05/2025, we hodl 447,470 BTC acquired for ~$27.97 billion at ~$62,503 per bitcoin,” Saylor detailed.
The software intelligence firm recently unveiled an ambitious “21/21 Plan” to raise $42 billion over the next three years to expand its bitcoin holdings. Announced in October 2024, the strategy aims to secure $21 billion through equity offerings and an additional $21 billion via fixed-income securities.
Saylor forecasts bitcoin’s value could reach $13 million by 2045 in a base-case scenario, with a bear-case projection of $3 million and a bull-case estimate of $49 million. MicroStrategy’s aggressive BTC acquisition strategy has significantly impacted its stock performance. Microstrategy’s aggressive bitcoin acquisition strategy not only boosted its stock substantially in 2024, but also paved the way for MSTR to be included in the Nasdaq 100. This milestone highlights the growing recognition of bitcoin-focused companies in mainstream financial indices.
Microstrategy is not alone in adopting bitcoin-based treasury strategies. An increasing number of companies have integrated bitcoin into their financial strategies, reflecting a growing trend of corporate adoption. Additionally, President-elect Donald Trump revealed plans to establish a national bitcoin reserve, signaling the asset’s growing role in U.S. financial policy.
